Just thought of the best sign to hang in the OF when we play Tex in OAK

a big black sign, with 3 large “lines” of flour, and a giant straw hanging next to it. Thats it, just hanging off the bleachers in Left Field.

It's the wrong thing to after him for, in my opinion, but I wouldn't cut him any slack because of who he is.

He suits up in a Rangers uniform now – he’s the enemy.

I think they missed a few angles on the Hamilton catch

They're really bad at that.

Was it the Angels game where they showed all the home runs the Angels had hit against us in the previous series? Clearly they don’t know their audience.

"Josh Hamilton - I'll just put up my glove and see if I can catch it."

Erm no. That’s a huge disservice to Hamilton there. He made a fantastic catch – give credit where it’s due.
